Gingerbread cookie nail art

Tuesday, 9 December 2014

It's about time I start doing some Christmas nails!

I always feel so slow and behind when I see manicures inspired by a holiday that I haven't been preparing for manicure-wise. This applies to for instance Halloween, Valentines Day and Easter but also Christmas. Maybe this year I can squeeze in at least a few appropriate manicures (and hold on to the pink and yellow flowery look I created last week til after the holidays)?

The obvious choice for my Christmas nails is to try and do them in accordance with the themes of Winter Nail Art Challenge that Lacky Corner is hosting. I missed the first two days but jump in in time for the candies prompt. So appropriate! My favourite Christmas candies is the fudge and toffee my mom makes but I think that would look quite bland on my nails so I went with gingerbread instead. I usually don't make my own gingerbread cookies but every year S and I decorate a gingerbread house. They range in style and usually only last a few days until someone starts munching on the roof ^-^. Below picture shows our last three houses. My favourite is probably last years pastel paisley (at least on my side of the roof) house. Found such good candy that year! This year we had a poorer candy selection (far right in picture) and I think it affected the creativity level.

Thank you! There are two ways to make a good house, either you are anal like me and opt for a specific style (which doesnt always work out...) or you add all your favourite candies and have the yummiest house!
